Glenn Roeder is 'convinced' he has identified the right striker for Norwich City amid speculation he wants Steffen Iversen.

The Norwich boss is hoping to add to his squad before Saturday's Championship game with Blackpool at Carrow Road.

He has been linked with Shola Ameobi and Grzegorz Rasiak, but his target featured for his current club at the weekend.

Reports have suggested that former Tottenham striker Iversen, who is at Rosenborg, is the player Roeder is hoping to sign.

Determined

Roeder has not confirmed the identity of his imminent signing, but is hoping the player will be allowed to link up with the Canaries.

"I couldn't be any more determined," Roeder told the Eastern Daily Press. "It's just the guy that I want had a good weekend for the club he is at, so I am even more convinced he is the one we need.

"His club has just got to keep a promise they made to the player a number of months ago.

"It is always easy to make promises when you don't have to keep them, but there comes a time in your life when if you make someone a promise that person says keep it."
